Re-energized and back on track, Sue's CS is still on page one.

@Spud

but I was under the impression this one was dead?

Did Sep ever come back

I'd take a crack at Johnny but I was under the impression this one was dead? Last time I checked the discord channel it had been dead for quite awhile....

Who's left in this? IDK if I could still do Fredzilla but there's a couple characters I've been reading up on lately I wouldn't mind taking a crack at. Did Sep ever come back or is he completely out now?

~KL~

I'd like to bring in Black Widow if this is going to make a comeback.

>>ultron
>>?????

I don't recall Ultron being implemented in WASP's backstory or the OOC? or is this a WIP draft you're still tinkering with?

My Hider [+]

Your Name: Loki Odinson

Character Name: Natasha Romanov

Character Alias: Black Widow

Character Allignment: Chaotic Good

Age: 40
Apparent age: Late 20s
Character Appearance: With striking red hair, green eyes, standing at the height of 170cm and weighing 59kg, Natasha Romanov has been described as your classic Russian beauty in terms of facial appearance, hour-glass figure and healthy light-tanned skin. Her red hair and green eyes make her stand out even more, while her honed skills allow her to fade into the crowd despite her striking looks. Arching eyebrows, a delicate jawline and defined cheekbones, one would think her a high-born woman for wealth, poised and elegant.

However, beneath her choice of attire - whether it be her S.H.I.E.L.D. catsuit, a cocktail dress or casual shirt and jeans - lies a well-tone body with lithe muscles and no excess fat. Her skin may look soft and flawless from a distance, but up close, one would be able to see the various scars collected overt the years if uncovered by clothes.

Generally, Natasha does not allow emotions to be expressed on her face, or even in her eyes. She is stoic, quiet, but always observing. On ocassion though, when surrounded by people she is comfortable with, rare smiles and laughter can be drawn out of her. Other times, her eyes become unshuttered, allowing her thought to surface.

Personality: The entirety of Romanov's character is hard to distinguish based on how she lies and tricks people for a living. She is capable of convincingly portraying friendly and flirtatious, timid, vulnerable and scared. For the most part, she is a level-headed, strong-willed and independent woman. Romanov normally maintains a controlled, almost emotionless persona to keep whatever she is thinking a secret unless she is around people she absolutely trusts. Although she is more than willing to rush into deadly battle and other unnerving missions for S.H.I.E.L.D., she is not completely fearless. There are things in the universe much, much, stronger than herself. She knows this, but sometimes, no matter how hard she tries, the fear surfaces, if only for a moment.

Though a very serious agent, Romanov is by no means stuffy and has a sarcastic sense of humor, which mostly surfaces when she is with people whom she is comfortable around, namely her handler, the director and varies other senior agents she has worked extensively with. Romanov is smart and loyal, never forgetting debts she feels owed to any who has saved her, and made a positive change in her life. While tough and at times ruthless, she is still a good person and can be quite heroic in her own right. These qualities usually surface when someone she feels a strong bond with is in danger. And no matter how injured she is in battle, Romanov will go out her way to make sure bystanders are out of harm's way, knowing full well that she is capable of defending herself till the bitter end, unlike civilians. Her decisions are influenced by her loyalty to people, her analysis of a situation, and of course, the possibility of her getting scot-free after.

As a result of her childhood and not being able to trust anyone in the Red Room, she considers her close friends as her family. While she often believe that "Love is for children", that doesn't stop her from forming emotional bonds with her friends. Romanov was sterilized as a rite-of-passage for her graduation from the training she underwent in the Red Room, and even the experimental serums injected into her did not change that. This event affects her deeply, even if she doesn't care to admit it, looking at it as just another advantage with which she can utilise to complete other jobs.

Characters Abilities: Human - super-soldier: The Russian-made serum injected into her during her period in the Red Room has gifted her with the ability to perform at a peak human condition. That doesn't mean hers is comparable with Steve Roger's enhancements, as she doesn't have super-strength or accelerated healing.

Characters Skills:
Master Spy: Romanov is a dangerous secret agent highly skilled in espionage, stealth, disguise, infiltration, and demolitions. Her talents and years of experience have enabled her to reach a high ranking as a special agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. She often resorts to seducing men to obtain her goals while working undercover and her ability to lie is so extraordinary that Nick Fury created a Lie Detector that he hoped she could not deceive.

Master Martial Artist: Romanov is extremely skilled in the field of martial arts, having mastered arts such as karate, judo, aikido, savate, boxing, lucha-libre style wrestling and multiple styles of kung fu.

Master Acrobat: Romanov incorporates gymnastics and acrobatics into her fighting style as she battles opponents.

Master Assassin: Romanov is very skilled in the art of assassination, considered to be one of the most dangerous assassins in the world. She is known to have killed many people during her time serving the KGB and S.H.I.E.L.D.

Expert Marksman: She is a very accurate marksman skilled in sharpshooting.

Multilingualism: She is fluent in Latin, Russian, English, French, German, Chinese, and various other languages.

Strategic Intellect: Romanov possesses the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (for example, threat assessment, escape plans) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations.

Eqipment [+]

Black Widow's Bite: Electroshock weapon that can deliver powerful electrical discharges from two bracelets worn by Black Widow.

Black Widow's Batons: Electroshock weapons that can deliver powerful electrical shocks to incapacitate her targets.

Garrote: She carries a garrote inside one of her bracelets.

Taser Disks: The buckle of her S.H.I.E.L.D uniform's belt contains small, flat disks that has the capabilities of a standard hand-held taser.

Weakness [+]

Like any other human, she is susceptible to illness, grievous injuries, critical wounds, and mind control. On top of that, her uniform offers limited protection as it is merely a bulletproof material to some extent, unlike Iron Man's titanium-gold alloy suit, and she doesn't have a vibranium shield either.

There's always something or someone in the world that is stronger than you. That she knows, but has always supressed her fear of the unknown. She is calm, controlled and unflappable. But throw her into a real-life situation where she knows she is genuinely out of her depth and wouldn't be able to defeat in her lifetime and the next (i.e Hulk) and her long-suppressed fears will shatter her cool. There's nothing more overwhelming than staring Death in the face when there're are still a bunch of things uncrossed on your bucket list.

Her loyalty and emotional attachments are at times her strength and her kryptonite. If she has given someone her loyalty, she will always stand by them and help out whichever way possible. But that also allows the same person to hurt her where no one else can: her heart. While her body is trained to withstand the most extreme of torture, her heart is a fragile thing still, and can cripple her emotionally and/or influence some of her decisions.

Origin Story: Natasha Romanova's earliest memories is of her being raised from the very start of her life (that she can remember) by the U.S.S.R.'s "Black Widow Ops" Program. Petrovitch took her in, and with another 28 young female orphans, entered her into the covert "Red Room" facility, where she was trained in combat and espionage. There, she was injected with the Russian-made serum modeled after Erskine's formula. However, the formula was still not up to par, and she was thrown back into the "Black Widow Program". As part of the espionage training, she had artificial memories of a normal childhood implanted, which allows her to seamlessly fabricate a cover story whenever necessary. After her training, she was eventually arranged to marry Alexi Shostakov, a distinguished Soviet test pilot. As a final ceremony to complete her training period, Natasha was sterilized, as to avoid any distractions and focus solely on her missions, which was something she deeply regretted years later, although she had lng since got over it.

The Soviet government intelligence (KGB) decided that the skill set of this couple would make them superb special operatives, and split them up while Alexi was away on a mission. Trained as the Red Guardian, Alexi became the Soviet Union’s answer to the United States’ Captain America. Natasha was told that her husband died in an experimental rocket crash, and was drafted into the KGB. She became their best operative, becoming excellent at fighting and information gathering. During this time she received further training from the Winter Soldier. It was here she was first dubbed the “Black Widow.”

Due to both her expertise and her growing threat to global security, Natasha quickly appeared on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar, prompting Director Nick Fury to send Agent Clint Barton, better known as Hawkeye, to eliminate her. Hawkeye disobeyed this order, recognizing her skill, and recommended her for recruitment for S.H.I.E.L.D. At the behest of Director Fury, she later defected from Russia and joined the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D. From that moment on, she developed a lasting partnership with Barton. Together they had missions in Budapest, Abidjan, and many other locations.

Between the time she was recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. and joining the Avenger's Initiative, she ran multiple team and solo missions around the world, assassinations, undercover, surveillance, protection detail and the like, some of which includes watching Tony Stark, taking out known H.Y.D.R.A. bases and retrieving stolen advanced weaponaries from dangerous organisations. After the establishment of the Avengers Initiative, she took part in stopping Galactus and helping to stop the new-rising Underground power.

Story Arcs:
- With the reemergance of the Winter Soldier, she set off on a personal, solo mission to track him down ans see if she can break HYDRA's control over him.
- Department X wants one of their deadliest assets back and will go to any lengths to get their hands on her. They want her for the serum in her blood and if possible, brainwash her like they did the Winter Soldier. That way, they can both create more super-soldiers and acquire another great asset.

Enemies: The Red Room, H.Y.D.R.A, Department X

Sample Post [+]

She had been tensed since she had found out that Ross sent the others to the Raft – just plucked them off the tarmac in Berlin and dropped them in the middle of the ocean with no stops in between. And now she was annoyed with Steve because he had given her the task of tracking down the confiscated gear when all she really wanted was to get eyes on Clint. Because she knew damn well that the archer hated being confined and she was more worried than she cared to admit about what the last eight days might have done to him. But Steve was still their leader so she acquiesced with a huff of frustration, breaking away from him as soon as they hit the second level and headed down the dark hallway, their best guess as to where Ant Man’s suit, Falcon’s wings and Clint’s bow were locked away.

She found it all in the third place she searched – a tactical weapons armory – and stepped over the unconscious bodies (really, for a fortified prison, it had been far too easy to take everyone out with a gas before they breached) to get to them. Lang’s suit looked unaltered, but Clint’s bow was broken in two and Falcon’s wings laid disassembled on a table, like someone took them apart to try to see how they worked. She checked her watch. It was time to get back to the jet. If everything went off as planned, Steve and the rest of them should be heading there by now.

Quickly, Natasha scanned the pile of gear and grabbed Ant Man’s suit, leaving Sam’s kit behind because it was in too many pieces to carry easily, and really, it’s replicable. She spared a half a second to mourn Clint’s bow – it was his favorite – but grabbed his quiver. It was easily replaceable too, but she knew he was going to be pissed about the bow so she wanted to have something to offer him in consolation. Forty-seven seconds after she entered the armory, she was sprinting down the corridor, making for the quinjet.

When she arrived at the landing bay, a rush of relief swept through her as Wilson entered the jet. Everything went as planned, then. Steve stuck his head out, met her steady gaze with a troubled one before ducking back inside. Apprehension was not enough to break her stride, and Natasha trotted up the rear hatch briskly. Her eyes did a rapid scan before going wide for a split second. Clint laid on a gurney covered in too much blood. It brought back too many bad memories of screwed up missions, of pressing her hands against a gaping wound, of willing her field partner to hold on long enough for the med team. Her mind reeled slightly because it didn't make sense. Did one of the guards somehow remained conscious and managed to get a shot off? The thought was dashed quickly as she catalogued his visible injuries. Raspy breath, swelled eyelid and bruised skin. He had been beaten. But there was no time to stop and ask questions because they still had to get out of here and it was not her job to take care of him. Mission parameters stated that right now her job was to fly them to safety.

Without another word, Natasha headed into the cockpit, strapped into the pilot’s seat, and ignored Steve when he claimed the seat beside her. They kept the silence. It was more important than ever that she remained mentally focused and complete the objective. Once they were in the air and the tension of being caught eased away, she realized that her hand had gone unconsciously to the small pendant around her neck, rubbing the golden arrow with her forefinger. Immediately, her hand went back to the controls and stayed there. Natasha Romanov was not superstitious, had never been and never will be. Either Clint would be okay or he wouldn't, and no sentimental piece of jewelry was going to change that.

Even if deep, deep down, the tiniest, non-cynical part of her entire being wished it would.
